[Radiance-general] Re: ambient calculation

[Gregory J. Ward]

The actual distance at which the ambient calculation starts to  
degrade is the octree bounding cube size, which is the final number  
reported by "getinfo -d octree", divided by the -ar setting.  Source  
geometry affects this like any other geometry, except for distant  
sources, which are not really geometry per se.
